Letter to candidates
From the desk of Lord Luker, Guildmaster of the Alliance of Virtue
March 15, 1999

Dear Friend,

To become a candidate for membership in our player guild or to become our ally all you need to do is fill out the join form. If the form doesn't load for any reason, we need to know the answers to the questions asked on it.

A little more information about the player guild itself: We are based in Britain on the Atlantic Shard but we are expanding to Baja and other shards. We are the Alliance of Virtue (AV) and include the Eagles of Virtue (EoV) and many allies. We are anti-pk and lawful good, a good guy guild. We don't player kill innocent Britannians but we fight player killers. Our player guild is quite big with over 100 active members now and allies numbering nearly a thousand players, there are lots of people to adventure and train with! We have many newer players as well who primarily mine, smith, lumberjack, fish or do other beginning activities to get started.

Our rules include no player killing or stealing from our guild members or of allied guild members, no stealing from guild members or guild houses and always ask a guild member (green name) or ally (orange name) before sparring. We ask for a contribution from all individuals seeking to join our player guild in order to be inducted into the guild of for example 200 ingots or 1000 gps or other items like potions or furniture depending on your skills.

The mission of our alliance is to help us all have more fun in the various roles we play in Ultima Online. Our alliance is neutral in terms of justice policy alignment, this means we include guilds of all types of alignments: good, evil, neutral, lawful and chaotic. We have few rules and like to avoid buerocracy. But violation of any rules by any ally may warrant dismissal from the alliance. All members and allies have the right to have their views heard by Lord Luker and the other leaders. Generally items are handled by concensus (things get done people discuss what they like) however votes can be held by the leaders. We avoid player killing as a practice but do attack player killers. To join the alliance just fill out the join form, generally becoming a member is an easy process. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail Luker.

Alliance Rules are as follows:

We are anti-pk, what does this mean? It means we do not attack innocent players or guilds which have done no wrong in terms of player killing or robbing innocents. We also fight against theifs who rob us or our allies but generally reserve capitol punishment for player killers, reconciliation is usually the goal of lesser thievery crimes. Anyone player killing an innocent shall be kicked out, and possibly added to the wanted list.
All members of Allied Guilds are required to never player kill an allied guild. Duels shall not be to the death unless agreed to by both parties in advance and sanctioned by the respective Guildmasters.
Allied guilds retain their Sovereignty and have the choice of how their guild will be organised and governed and who they will make war with individually. Some guilds support the alliance through community type training, logistics, housing, etc. Some guilds do the pvping.
Enemies and non-allied guilds are open to war declarations however if the leaders of the alliance request that a war against a non-allied non-enemy guild be ceased the ally is kindly asked to comply.
The Guildmaster or a duly appointed representative is required to attend Alliance Meetings, missing three meetings in a row can be cause for removal from the alliance.
All allies are asked to treat one another in a respectable, fair and decent manner.
Lords are required to recruit for the alliance, always be positive about the alliance and communicate regularly together.

If you are interested in joining one of Britannia's Best Alliances then just fill out the form and follow the directions there. Thanks for your interest! Please be in touch. If you do not hear back from me within a few days of e-mailing Luker, please try again. Have a great day, thanks for your interest! We look forward to hearing from you and discussing the fun we can have together in Ultima Online!
